- This recipe was one of eight finalists in the cook-off at the Gilroy Garlic festival in 1999.
- Pour 6 c. water in large, heavy saucepan or possibly Dutch oven. Add in pork, garlic, onion and salt. Bring liquid to a boil. Reduce heat to low and cook, uncovered, adding more water if needed, till meat is tender when pierced with tip of a sharp knife, about 1 hour. Skim off and throw away any foam which rises to the surface as pork cooks.
- In a large skillet, heat vegetable oil till warm. Working in batches, add in a few chiles to the skillet and cook till limp and barely softened. Turn and cook 10 seconds longer. Drain on paper towels. Repeat with remaining chiles.
- Reserve veg. oil, placing half in small bowl and leaving the rest in the skillet. Place chiles in a heat-proof bowl and cover with boiling water. Set aside to soften, about 10 min. Drain in a colander.
- Use a slotted spoon to remove pork, garlic and onion from the saucepan. Reserve broth.
- In the same large skillet heat the chile-flavored oil over high heat. Working in batches and adding more oil if needed, add in pork and cook, stirring occasionally, till browned on all sides.
- In blender or possibly food processor combine the softened chiles with 1/2 c. of the reserved cooking broth, the cooked garlic and onion and the ingredients for the garlic spice mix. Blend till smooth.
- Add in the reserved chile-flavored oil to the skillet over medium heat, add in pureed chile mix and cook, stirring occasionally, till heated through, about 3 min.
- Pour chile mix and pork into saucepan, adding remaining broth.
- Bring to a boil over medium heat. Stir in bouillon cubes and reduce heat to low. Taste for seasoning, adding salt and pepper as needed.
- Cook 10 min to blend flavors. Serve with rice and tortillas.
